03: Video: I used to love them myths. That stuff was deep.

[Omar's kept his promise, and in the days since his last conversation with Leslie, he's been haunting the library, doing a lot of browsing. For being, well, a riotous gangster-slash-angel of vengeance, he's actually a very good library patron: quiet, polite, keeps mostly to himself.

And finally, he's found a book. He's sitting in the fifth floor common room, next to the shark tank, the book loosely held atop his lap, cover unseen.]

Now Barge, y'all don't know me like my warden do, so maybe y'all don't know that I've got me a real appreciation for the written word. But Leslie Knope want to encourage that in me, I suppose, so she gone and named me co-captain of the new Barge Book Club. Or something like that. I gets to pick the first book, anyway.

So now I'm left with two questions for y'all:

One, who be wanting to join up?

And two, who already got a copy of this? [And now he holds it up: 50 Shades of Grey, by E.L. James.] I hear it get real popular in the future.

Comments

I keep thinking of more words to add

[timesbureaucrat]

I might as well. Popular literature can be an excellent source of cultural information and I'm looking to brush up on my knowledge of 21st century Earth mores. [Kay has not yet warned him that this book is not going to be good insight into how average 21st century humans behave. And may never warn him depending on how much entertainment he'd get out of seeing Narvin's face as he reads it.]

[omar]

Mores.

[timesbureaucrat]

That is what I just said.

[omar]

[He doesn't know what that means, bro.] Well, sure, this might be one way to do all that.

[timesbureaucrat]

[Half of Omar's slang is completely mysterious to Narvin, so they're even.]

Then it's settled. I'm sure I can find a copy in my data archives. [There's a lot of data stored in his TARDIS.]
